Iravanatyam: National Queer Theater, Bangladesh

Divinity has no gender circumscription. With this belief, soon we will start our new project called `Iravanatyam'.It will be a musical film At the same time, we would like to stage it as well. It is planned to be staged three times a year. Though it is inspired by the myth of the hermaphrodite god of Aravan but this is an independent narrative. Iravanatyam is primarily strung in the area of revisi

ting mythology and re-interpreting our past. Sexual freedom of transgender recognized as taboo in our society. Our belief, we can gradually speed up the awareness among the people by our films to accept the phenomena as innate. The severalty of the film is – one storyline focused on chorographical aesthetic value for personal audiences and it gives the transgender a sense of belonging, which helps boost their self-esteem. Besides this, this film can bring greater social justice to the community by sharing the elements, challenges, wins and precedent-setting and overall offering a strong narrative to educate the greater mainstream and they will socially able to accept them in the long run. Your motivation and financial support will help us raise our work from the national level to the international level. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iravan
